So is "Juneteenth" to be celebrated on the 13th thru 19th, or just on the 19th?
And more importantly, is it a Federal holiday?

June 19th is the traditional day, although I've usually seen it celebrated on the nearest Saturday.
It's not an "official" holiday on the Federal level; it is in a few states.
Given the US has the fewest holidays of any country (true statement) I'm all for more holidays generally speaking-so long as they don't celebrate Robert E. Lee or other traitors who should have been executed.

Do a google search of Junteenth and you'll find it's ubiquitous.
